HOW COULD A 400 PAGE REPORT ABOUT RUSSIAN COLLUSION FAIL TO MENTION FUSION GPS???

There is a stunning omission in the Special Counsel report that simply must be highlighted.

The Special Counsel's kid-glove treatment of Fusion GPS makes the partisanship of the report eminently obvious.

To put this omission into perspective, consider that Michael Cohen is mentioned in the report 877 times, Paul Manafort 624 times, Carter Page 31 times and Christopher Steele 24 times.

"Steele reporting" (the Mueller term for the Russian "Dossier") is mentioned a scant nine times, yet it played -- according to former-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe -- a central role in the initiation of FISA surveillance against the Trump campaign.

Underscoring the egregious, partisan nature of the Mueller report is the fact that nowhere does the massive document touch upon the role of Fusion GPS. Instead there is a single, oblique reference to "the firm that produced the Steele reporting."

Somehow, the Mueller team failed to pursue the setup allegations, even though substantial reporting about the curious nature of the meeting had occurred in the summer of 2018 by the likes of Lee Smith.

Amazingly, the Special Counsel chose not to pursue any angle related to Fusion GPS, going so far as to keep the name of the firm out of the report altogether.

This report is less a legal document than it is a 400-page New York Times op-ed.
